extending their lease to a total of 10 years i mean it would be an under estimations with the terms of the applicant with their leases that it is more of an kind of an estimations of those property owners the actuality of property owners engaging in a 10 year lease and communications with the investment neighborhood teams that with work a lot of the businesses as they're trying to secure leases or new leases the conversation they're having with property owners. >> the $4.50 per year or month. >> per year. >> and that should be noted

that also for the businesses assistant grant it is a yearly grant and has to be reapplied for every year. >> and application is july 1st to september 30th just to make it simply we'll round up to $0.38 a month per square foot. >> i have a clarification no, not at all. >> the process on the registry to grow the application through the historic preservation commission; correct? >> yes. >> yes. >> now for the second step the business doesn't have to grow back to the historic preservation commission. >> no the applications; correct? >> the application is i'm sorry. >> the application is filed and then final determination is

made by the small business commission and then once the commission makes it adjudicate it is places on the registry or not placed on the registry and then if the application for the ability for that business to submit an application for the preservation grant do that during that grant cycle application cycle they'll be able to do that or wait until next year the rent stabilization grant will be inevitable for a property owner on the registry that's role it during the year. >> for the grant application it does not have to be submitted to other commission.

>> right and per prop j so we will be doing the reviews of the grants soon the determination so you'll be making the i have - sorry the commission will hear all applications for the registry then you will be making - approving grant guidelines or approving or making changes but voting and taking action on grant guidelines for us staff to - for the grant programs of which those will not come back unless you want them but woolen going to be working targeted procedures staff will be approving the grants based on the approval guidelines you

approve. >> did does that answer your question. >> so not to backtrack i want to clarify so the grant of up to $500 per fte it also is up to $500 per year for per fte. >> 5 hundred directing per not per fte and while that grant is not really intended those grants are a populations to labor hours but a grant - >> you'll be making the determination so not today but at the next meeting you'll be making a determination as to - we're going to be putting forward recommendations on what those grants can be used for and their application and we'll be you'll be making the decision on what you determine are

appropriate items for - >> we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. >> it is you've to think of that in metrics we said and often small business think per dollars per power if i might to clarify one clarifying expectations $500 per fte amazed to $41 per month per fte it qualities to $0.25 an hour. >> that's the moment. >> can you say annual grants. >> i'm putting in perspective that $500 is equivalent to $25 an hour if you work an 8 hour work and take vacation just in perspective in a time when minimum wage is circulating at the one dollar per year okay so again, this is very important

to me as the president of this commission and this hot low discussed matter that the stepgsz about the maximum benefits will likely benefit and what are the kind of just the understanding of what those benefits amount to say important i think the estimation has been created in the public this is a silver bullet and it is not so i think that we have been criticized because we have businesses out there that think we're standing between them and survival. >> and so i offered those two carry on thank you. >> thank you. >> yeah. i just i want to thank you commissioner president dwight you expressed my sentiments we're holding fund

and recommend or ask like if there is fte you know if there is 5 hundred ftes what is the maximum if we spent all the funds on ftes what's the maximum so small businesses also understand that you know there's not an unlimited resources for every particular prom to that point thank you at the last meeting he requested not only this presentation but the presentation of the best case scenario for you know quite a few a couple scenarios whether a rauntdz or likely applicant and what they might expect under the absolutely best case scenario how it effects their business i think outside the box anyone that does business planning for survival planning around this program needs to understand in the best of words this might impact their survival by the way, it is not the intention and

a our fiduciary responsibility to make sure we don't make a grant to a business that is going to fail regardless the fiduciary responsibility of this commission to make the grants with the expectation the reasonable expectation that that grant will have a positive effect on the survival of the business and not delay the inevolve. >> thank you commissioner president dwight thank you that should breakdown by hours those grants are not for you to add one hundred employees to the false implication out in the media what is the impact of 25 crept if you administer the funds. >> do you notice a hundred thousand dollars for your businesses to survive you need our bank. >> okay

sorry richard. >> joined the conversation 0 so we talked about the rent stabilization grants and property the tenant acquisition grants for the non-restricted property owners that's lose language that is registers to apply. >> it means the business owner that leases their maybe in how do you call it a non-party not leasing from our parents or nephews so this is to a building. >> to be determined and where again loosely estimating 6 to 10 tenants. >> have we made some rough

estimated carve outs for that part. >> we - so again we're just providing you with a high-level overall overview and at the next meeting you'll get this ahead of meeting we're developing and solidifying the guidelines from work that the investments neighborhoods program has been successful some of it will be for the ta improvements around helping around securing the leases to but again more to come. >> and this - >> this will be a one time grant; correct? >> correct. >> one time grant and get any bearings are we talking about closer to one thousand dollars or $10,000. >> much one hundred thousand dollars grants. >> closer to one thousand dollars or $10,000. >> closer to 10 yeah. >> so, so that 3 has meaning

in weight and the ability to help businesses secure what and again, the invested neighborhood the work that is done with some of the businesses to be able to secure and 5 year lease with some of the improvements just helps to do some stabilization. >> all right. >> a point of clarification about the - the 10 year lease and the dollar and $0.50 with a maximum of 5 thousand just to be clear a one time payment not a yearly - a yearly payment so long as you get into the program that payment will be renewed each and every 12 years for the number of years that specified according to the lease extension. >> okay. >> so this is not - as long as

they're in the program those 4 recipients remain in the program. >> their they will remain eligible for both the business assistants grants and the rent stabilization grant a reapplication every year but they've been initially qualified the reapplication will be less a more simplyer application let's say for the business assistance grant we could be based on ftes and the next year the business could have fewer ftes or a greater number of ftes there maybe differences and for the you know the rent stabilization grant we want to insure the business is occupying that says that a business could decide to close and move and others

variables not continue through the 10 year lease so their say requirements for the revifshgs but make them relatively insure and commissioner ortiz-cartagena revealed another aspect as the companies are followed by - without increasing the policy increasing the availability of - >> yes and no. >> i want to clarify that point as you're getting more landlord in the podium you are dividing the pot equally among the recipients. >> get more money yep. >> rick will be later in the power point showing you that part of the work we're going to be beginning to at you know -

we'll be beginning to work with the businesses registered to early on make those dermsz in terms of trying to get ahead of what the grant request will be to be able to provide a report to the board of supervisors and to the mayor and so put those numbers before them and up to the mayor and the board of supervisors to determine whether they will increase the you know the amount of funding to the program if it needs it so again, it will be our reporting to make that determination in terms of what is the potential utilization and if there's no funding change the numbers increase and what the gra amounts look like this will be

part of reporting obviously for you and because as part of budget requests that that you will be likely we'll be prebt to you and you'll be likely you know making a determination as to you might want to push for a budget increase and then the board will make the determination as well. >> business assistants is for the registries and that meaning they're eligible for business assistance if they want and we're estimating 77 assistants low receive that primarily this through the business services but we have other tools in place as well. >> and then promotion

marketing working on the aspect so there's more later on. >> just i think we've received funding in this budget year to develop a brand identity and marketing program we're working on that. >> again. >> additional services next fiscal year we're envisioning we're looking at the possibility of getting sf shine grants for the improvement a program for that the appropriate registers adrc taking into consideration tool in the tool box and at the registering to the renters. >> exceptions for this fiscal

year we expect to disperse the 3 grants that we mentioned earlier and implement the business assistance and is promotion in marketing cases of the program and we will be as jeanie was saying requesting the fund for the next fiscal year when the term comes negotiation. >> the fiscal year runs june to. >> july one through june 30th. >> that's correct and annually after that because we don't have to do that every year and we'll request the sf shine grants for next fiscal year in february when we do the budget and report to the board of supervisors is due every year on june 1st. >> for the next fiscal year we

continue to express the grant annually and revert to the july 1st to september application for the business assistance grant and continue to implementing the formation services annually and disperse the sf shine grants and get them annually exceptions for that the fiscal year after that we will probably begin exploring the property ownership programs and then fiscal year - for the funding i'll be proposing goes back to how much general fund we are using for the program and really wise i think to think about diversifying. >> fiscal year 2021 this is as far as i go in the

presentation hopefully by then implements some of the property owner membership it maybe calculated and some takes a few years and hopefully implement some sort of option to different the funding. >> what's the process nourp to implement the ownership. >> i would see those are ordinances we'll be voting. >> a or programs we create yep that would be 4 i mentioned maybe you encouraging tic ownerships and condo condominiumtion for the storefront and then looking maybe something for the federal 504 loan that is citywide and maybe something similar to the cast program but for the legacy businesses. >> that goes to the process. >> of the legislation.

>> absolutely. >> where required. >> we will be required to do. >> i expect those last 2 to be complex i expect weigh take a couple ever years with a lot of input from the folks in the agency. >> pardon me. >> so future reports so i would like to make a reports every month to the installation on the second monday which is the first part of most for example, august 2016 provided at the september 12th and have the full numbers for the month of august if that's okay with you and provide the statistics based on the month and fiscal year dated and the

program totals to keep a running tab since the beginning. >> okay. >> and some of the things i want to report on failures the list of numbers by the number of applications and neejs received and the number of keys received the number of plagues reviewed by the historic preservation commission and the small business commission the businesses added to the legacy that is the businesses approved by the hpc and the number and amount of different grants we have and i added an extra slide not in your packet i apologize we made updates to the website and added the legacy business program to the navigation row of the small office of the small business commission website and adam in the legacy program page and the length of city

government forwards slash legacy business goes now to about page and the navigation page and the registry is not changed that page is now dropped down and added the forwards slash registry to that package this is something that makes it more visible and allows us to add more pages a we need them more drop down all over the place reserved 4 and that points to the about page and more information about that. >> great. >> and open to any questions if you have any. >> commissioners. >> commissioiner vice president adams. >> just richard you did a job for respond many stepped up to the plate into that and knew you

had the background but you put this in two weeks and got it on track and you have a timeline you know everything we need to see to get this program upcoming and this is very good thank you. >> thank you. >> yes. thank you very much commissioner any other comments shall we open up for public comment okay. thank you richard. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. well anyone wish to comment on this item. >> i have a not to say have a lot of history to present to this you commissioners have been commissioners four or five years but got together so therefore your babies compared to what i've been and your director will tell you i've been in my community for 25 or thirty years let's go on to what you have a

new situations at city hall trying to bring to the community let me say one thing as the fillmore ambassador those are the 3 principles once i do any stated of the union we've not - we'll talked about the failed efforts they've failed us back ten years to a master lease and talk about the investment of the neighborhood it failed us mysteriously we've not going to go with miss gietsd leadership - we're also not going to do the egregious in underlining our community as long as i've got to hear this we'll not let people

undermine the community what i mean combine we got our programs now we want to go forward and here the city and county blaming every time you come up with a new program sir, you did a good presentation in my community no in western edition no until you guys our commission comes to the fillmore and explained what goes on and this gentleman explains to the community that what is going on i believe that i put together we partnership with the word is used you talk about the partnership dog gone it partnership with the fillmore ambassador bringing any programs excuse me for being able to mediational with those new developments and new people getting all the communities and

the backs don't get nothing you failed us mysteriously but the traefth if you plan to bring the program to the western edition you better come through me i'll bring it to my community to all the businesses and let them know the new program for us you all and all those grants and everything we want to know here you're the commission putting it together you don't know your skimming them that happens all the time and this is what we got in the community no more. >> thank you. >> thank you all right. >> commissioners any other comments. >> all right. so that- so. >> no action on this item we'll move on to item 6 please.

>> so commissioners for items 6, 7 and 8 i think i had you know sent to you in our agenda packet about discussion around nonprofits and my conversation to have a discussion my conversation has requested time to work with our office to further review the considerations around nonprofits so one i just i'm going to request that we still need to read into the record items 7 and 8 that we just continue those because some of the recommendations i would put forward you to today has questions around the discussion of nonprofits so i'd like to continue those but for item number 6 you know again to help with clarity since we have the opportunity to be on sfgovtv and to help explain to the business community to walk

through the application process on the registry to be clear and identify some nuances of things we're seeing so if we could - read item number 6 into the record we'll review the applications but my request is that we will not be taking any action just to review the complication. >> are you proposing we have a presentation by richard of the process by which one glosses the application. >> correct uh-huh. >> my reading items 6 through 8. >> we're on the agendas separately and require separate public comments item 6 please. item 6 discussion and possible action to make final recollections to the legacy businesses rules and regulations to administer administrative code section 2a 242 the legacy

business registry discussion and possible action the presenter presenters are regeneral executive director of the office of the small business commission and richard program legacy business program manager. >> actually, i will have richard bring up for the public website for the application for the website so that the businesses can see and also for staff of the nominees i will have richard walk you through to reiterate the first process is for the business to be nominated by the mayor's of board of supervisors and for them to nominee a business that meets the criteria that will be that richard will

read into the record. >> thank you. >> so i have the website here that can bring up this is the on the bottom of the registry page there are 3 different pdf the instruction from the enormities and the legacy business application - a one-package document all about the registry i'm sorry this is for the nominee oversees for the supervisors or mayor on the letterhead and the contact information and xhaits on the 3 criteria for the

businesses operating in san francisco for thirty years and caveat to contribute this the neighborhood history and the community to maintain the features to define the business. >> and then from there go to the process for the nominees the 3 eligible criteria for the nominees. >> i don't mean to trumpet you can you clarify who will be the recipient of that letter noems noemgs we have been dissolution not policy but i came on board i've been proposing that the

nominations come in with applications trying to mayor that process and make it closer because we've been getting a lot of nominations and sometimes, the nominees don't knows about the programs and not interested in the program or don't have time to do on application that creates problems i've been given instruction to the mayor and the supervisors that we would like to see those come in more closely and they should reach out to the businesses and make sure they're interested in the process and the program so that's hopefully going to improve some things. >> thank you for that one i am not going to mention the business a business was to be nominated and no idea they are only nominated so you get a crucial point i hope the

supervisors and mayor's office are listening they say this is so key. >> it safes time for supervisors and mayor and the legacy business program and safes times for the businesses as far the nomination are coming in with applications so that's been helpful. >> we go over the registration process still when the nomination comes in we're contact the owner and it is not as important to reach out to the businesses quickly when they come in together the business has already filled out an application we work with the business to get an application we'll go over and once the application is complete we republic it to the historic preservation commission for

review there are looking at criteria 2 which was how they add to the community and the neighborhood and then from there comes to the small business commission for a final review and what we really want to make it clear also that let them know when they come before you they're presenting themselves you know for the request are to be on the registry with the historic preservation commission they does not need to attend it is advised but they're not requested to present so we want to kind of make sure that process is clear and kind of their commitment in addition to the you know the pretty expensive commitment they need to take to fill out the application. >> finally on the website the application itself

we have again go over the criteria for those 3 criteria we want to make sure that everybody is aware we given guidance to the applicants throughout the whole process they need to concentrate on those 3 criterias. >> can i point out something about the brief criteria it is so visually for the criteria each one of the criteria says essentially the small business commission we're the office of the small business commission our purview is business i interpret business to be for profit enterprise and not a nonprofit and so we're going to have discussion on this because let's remember that is the registry

the registry is the knothole the gate for the assistance program if you can't be on the revengey you can't get assistance so ratified by the board of supervisors in the language business business business. >> all right. so that's a very important distinction because this preincludes anything happens on the other side mainly the consideration and the granting for the business opportunities >> businesses our purview i personally as a commissioner don't know about nonprofits i do know that they have different

tax rules i do know they have different source of funding actually this city government has funding programs nonprofits in fact, capitol hill for nonprofits they don't apply to for profit enterprises i regard this is as a separation of church and states for profit businesses and nonprofits enterprises and charities at the don't intersect in the commission we will have a discussion those two worlds don't intersect in the document the document that splifz the legacy business and my reading of the criteria is specifically business which i terminate for profit business and the others

can disagree if they like it will - we've been asked to delay our discussion because this year is interest in adrc nonprofits to this program and if we are to add them to the funding program we must have them added to the registry that will require we change the rules and accommodate in the rules specifically nonprofits and so their presently not included not excluded but i exclude them by virtue of the language so we'll move forward. >> i want to say that nonprofits are 2, 3, 4 pipeline in terms of applications and i understand nonprofits that are in a moment by the supervisors and the mayor's office they've completed and submitted

applications for the registry i'll suggest to you that the first call to action by making a nomination to share the entity meets the criteria of the document that's why i make that point and commissioners you know this was agendized we need to provide in the future some sort of - some sort of clear direction to the nominee oversees it's the nominee overse like to hold off on having an extensive we can have a

discussion but making any decision as per request from the office of economic workforce development to work with us. >> we've been specifically asked not to make a decision but were i bring this up this is a discussion today and you mentioned the nominators i'm concerned about the nominees it is the nominees who's expectation cause foment among the nominators for the board of supervisors that have been yelling at us at every turn created expectation or we haven't expectations have been kraeltdz criticisms even today, this commission didn't understand the legislation i beg to differ this commission understand the legislation as written and the supervisors and other in the meantime, bodies

are in the not read the document maintained so on timeline and on nominees we have a lot of expectations out there which all the criticism falls on this body here okay. so it is not warranted and we have to clarify this. >> my advise to the commissioners not today but contemplate we have to have very definitive and clear to the extent we need widen room we'll fight this battle every single time a nonprofit comes to the table and so there will be some who say well, let's do it on a case by case basis and others say let's make a clear determination and fifth the battle ones in my opinion all

not up front we'll create a bunch of rules that challenge the nominees and nonprofits into your in and out that will not work this will happen you clarify this is the bright line this commission makes if it chooses not to make the line it is all in for every nomination so we have to make that clear and if we in any way aren't clear on that we are looking at if every time making that determination again and again and again, we're not going to make that determination today we were requested not to make that determination but in two weeks times of our next meeting my expectation we will make a

formal recommendation as to how we'll rule because this gets in the way of us moving forward okay can't you set aside the nominees we're not decided on the nominees we're in the position of doing that prefrnl. >> just for clarification coming back just to be clear it goes through the historic preservation commission they make the recommendations. >> that's correct. >> and criteria 2. >> 0 on criteria 2. >> and would that comes back to us. >> right just to be clear in terms of you know like you this body makes recommendations to the board of supervisors on prevention and they can and cannot do take that into it had time the same for you in terms of the represents with the historic preservation commission provides you, you can and cannot do i mean, you're not required

to take the it had time or required to follow the recommendation but provides additional information and but on the positive - i want to focus on the positive the historic preservation commission does have an extensive historical history so there will be businesses that they are able to sort of add to the rich history of the businesses we can then pull upon to help market and promote those businesses through the registry and i think you know, i really want to encourage us to continue to always talk about the registry is the program the preservation funds is a program of the - it is an add on to the legacy business registry program and may not exist you know - no

guarantee about the funding we do know how to utilize it you historic preservation commission is a small portion of the other programs we need i want to completely stress it the registry and the registry the core component of the program we we want to market and promote the businesses because ideally the majority of businesses on the registry won't ned all of the supportive programs they want us to market and promote them. >> director really quick i agree with commissioner president dwight so much and i'll say mix up the registry if the legislative state is the spirit that's an awesome program we're not politician we're small business owners and people

manipulated this and put it on the battle so horde hard work to modify and the registry unfortunately, the miscommunication is like we're giving away millions and millions of dollars and us on the body are withholding that from the small business community i think that i actually like commissioner president dwight their emphasizing i want everybody to be clear that what exactly that we're - >> you can check the record i and all of us have unanimously sports the revengey the registry is the cherry on top of the program the thing we support to be focus on and in fact, we're not focusing in the public arena on the money it is not about money but a registry of

businesses to celebrate of businesses that have been in business for as long as we have thirty or 25 years i've advocated actually go having peers on the registry 15 or 10 years let's celebrate the longevity and bar to get on the registry is very although it is mark farrell inxument on the nominees to provide the supporting dialogue that they contribute in the community and you know frankly i'm not no interests whatsoever of denying any business they're feeling they have contributed if they've been in business x number of years and paid their taxes they have a high proeblthd of making an application end of story the

registry is not a controversial issue at this commission the controversy and the criticism has come from the financial side of this evaluation but this is the gateway of the bit we're most criticized on we won't be getting crippling if not on the website people want to get on the registry to visitor and residents awesome a celebration a party every year and small business week for those on the registry in fact, i have said here that hopefully, we won't be need to restrict it to three hundred nominees and get through the registry process quick and happy to have a set of nominees vetted at every one of the

meeting frankly to do so in the application is filled anti properly and historical since the commission has vetted it i mean as far as i'm concerned, a recommendation from the historic preservation commission is a stamp of approval for us basically says they believe this business has a historic position in the communities i'd be most interested in one they said didn't how will they not qualify and interested in the exemption i see very slim chance that a business recommended by the historic preservation commission will not get approved by this commission that's why i think that will happen quickly this part so this part didn't bother me at all what bothers me we've set this specifically around business and taking in nominees look the nonprofits are not

applying to the registry let's be clear to be on the registry their politically to the registry to be inevitable for a grant - before the rules other than the first piece of legislation not the proposition to the voters this is the first law on the books and this law takes - is the gating law to the subsequent law we've never had an issue frankly as a matter of fact we've been supportive so. >> i apologize. i didn't mean to say the commission was not supportive i was talking to the viewing public and those listening when we can have the

discussion around the nonprofits i think because of i do think that is important we get some definitive positions so we can help the supervisors so if there's pressure that definitive those guidelines whatever direction it takes will for us to be able to say to the nominator yes or no because i think from the experience and rick in terms of doing looter grant administration and ushering with the offices when it is clear then communicating that to those who are out in their neighborhoods and residences and community they're able to articulate and less likely to be fluntdz by the pressure. >> i'll support a registry for

a nonprofit in the city a legacy nonprofit and welcome the co-happytion of that on a website we've spent taxpayer money and piggyback on this that will be fantastic and if we would like to get a supervisor to sponsor land use committee for a nonprofit legacy registry wonderful this is the business registry this is the constituency for which we are advocates and so 0 i don't know about nonprofit and a registry of nonprofits but registry of businesses i'll welcome legislation that establishes a second registry now i'll tell you not welcome the adjudication of that ♪

commission i'll welcome it done in the historic preservation and their work is final totally fine not our constituents and don't it is cool fine registration anything they want and put it on the website this commission spent its precious volunteer time on our constituency this is businesses and specifically small businesses and so i would prefer to restrict our staff time which is our staff budget by the way, that comes out of this funds to things that really relate to business and hopefully, the people that watch this or later on our constituents whom we advocate small businesses and hope great i like the fact that the commission is advocating for business on this registry because we don't want to mix things up in the registry this

is a business registry celebrating businesses people will go and buy from those businesses because they think their valuable assets to the communities whether you want to donate to a nonprofit i don't care where you do not but buy our stiff from an and our goods and services from san francisco all businesses preferably have not businesses and they're on the registry great all the more advertising and promotion to them that's where we are why we're here that's why we're appointed to be here that's why we volunteer time to be here we're them and they're our constituents so i'm sorry because i don't president in any way for people to say 24

commission didn't support the remedyingy we are going to have some controversy over the nonprofit put both this - we are asked to support nonprofits it is about money and politics >> i have a question about the question is asked i want to kind of - getting on the registry is a yearly exercise or. >> one time exercise. >> one time exercise. >> one time exercise we didn't get a chance to glow the applications but in section 3 under the business statement we

asked the business to say their current on the finalized obligations with the city and no lsd violation their application is available to the public and so we have one other statement the small business commission revoke the placement of a business on the registry in the business no longer qualities and not entitles the business in that you know - the placement on the registry didn't entitle them to a grant on the - in the city funds so the reason why we have that there a business could be on the registry for 10 or 15 years and sell the business so let's sort of use a recent example in the media was i think

was originally joe's that was sold or was it tommy's joint that was originally sold and so there was a lot of question around retaining the original memo and that is a core component in you know one of the core components of what is the legacy of that business so somebody may take the name but change the core component because they retain the name not the legacy of that business that could be something we'll bring forward to the commission this business no longer meets the legacy requirements they applied for . >> just to clarify just because they change the memo and don't offer pasta they're a grateful subjectivity to this i think

that businesses become legacy businesses because not because they stay in the past but they can move into the - >> a question. >> a question i'm asking we're on the legacy businesses and a paragraph and referring the right to revoke. >> going to have to have standards to revoke the business so the question is not i'm not asking for the sake of asking to make sure we admit somebody so a one time deal we reserve the right to hold that business on the registry or out of registry ought to have standards not selectively enforce so for the purpose and hidden that commissioners come in that the entry what are those to get out pulled out. >> right as okay.

>> right and i think you know in business we all understand that businesses have to evolve to stay current and meet the customer demands and side that in our traditional business model so we will be - that's an additional thing we're working on and again, a business can move out of the city that removes them from the registry just because our on the registry didn't mean you'll be on the registry for forever. >> not an entitlement. >> not an entitlement situations the commission makes a determination not something that the commission will have to do and we see with zoning thing to be able to take some action if needed. >> i think i agree totally and you mentioned the black and white so it is substantive to a

degree but, yes. >> i mean let's pick out the obvious ones i think that i mean, i actually think that is more about probably more about do you pay your taxed and a san francisco business i have great reservations about characterizing someone's memo or their overflow room as to whether they continue to be a legacy business and they change hands all the time and the fact they're in san francisco well someone took up the business to keep it in business we should come up with the - you know what are the clear bright lines whether or not you'll continue on the registry and have - to be extraordinarily careful how to be removed it is two

substantive so if so it is about your location and in good stan's with the city. >> yeah. >> and tammy. >> it is an open are house. >> yeah. so - i want to brought to your attention as i think we've mentioned this before that we've combined some of the instructions in the completion of the application so section one is just to give the basic details of the business overflow room location, section 3 again you know the businesses have to be current on their financial obligations, their you can employment obligations and that they understand the information is subject to the public section number 4 the written

narrative and again you know we do have businesses that have changed hands over time and so one of the things we are discovering and/or they change locates what happens is that new business owner or the new location maybe less than 20 years so that we can't verify by business registration they've been in business thirty or more years we're highlighting more specifically that they need to provide you know documents like you can see purposing the business from the previous owner so if they have their business registration the first business registration that some of the businesses have and you'll see that in the application packets so we junk in receiving some of the first applications realized

a few point to make sure that the businesses are addressing ahead of time so you know that they are providing the documentation that the business existed either prior to their current ownership or the current location and then, of course, asking them to provide the written history as it is related to the business its relationship to the community how it operationally is retained the original sort of business operations and it's you know culinary or art as designed in the legislation we've provided suggested in drafting the narratives as it relates to the 3 criteria we've prioritized some suggested items

for businesses to been when their drafting that. >> and then section 5 to highlight some historical documents to support their narrative the historic preservation commission has asked that we specifically ask for take a look at the exterior and the interior of the business we're making sure we ask for that and yeah. >> so those supplemental documents add to the richness and is texture of the business some of them have you know important people that visited their business you'll see a business restaurant that will they have provided copy of the original memo from

thirty years ago and it is interesting to see the prices (laughter) and or you know any articles new articles or they've advertised in a publication that is thirty years or older to provide that so and some businesses are providing this is the facade thirty years ago and this is the facade now you know and clearly things change because businesses have to stay relevant to be able to stay in business so it is interesting to see some of the supplemental documents. >> and i think - so that i just wanted to make sure that businesses really understand that it is on them to draft that narrative to pull out the supplemental documents we have some businesses that you know may need assistance in drafting

that narrative so we're working with the investment team to with work the economic organizations to help to provide the supports especially for english as a second language so getting assistance in draft the narrative. >> all right. and then the final thing is the instructions for submitting the applications; right? >> correct. >> a $50 filing. >> okay. >> fee. >> and as it is written right now the commission there is three hundred nominations a year and when we're in the first first year first fiscal year year july one we will see you know whether we actually do meet

the full three hundred you know whether three hundred nominated or if their say is desire to have more so. >> was there an estimate of the potential population of legacy businesses. >> based on dunn and braid street i'll say four or five. >> but property owners. >> so i want to thank you for the opportunity to really highlight the applications instructions so because there's been again, some misinformation or misunderstanding you've been nominated you're on the registry so that confusion created in

some of the dynamics around the meeting resulted in a high number of neementsz without consultation with the business so we have a high number of nominations submit by waiting for the application two action items coming out of that meeting one appointed by commissioner tour-sarkissian specific criteria around what causes a somewhat on the registry to be kicked off the registry we have clear ones let's write down and the other action item to make a determination regarding nonprofits. >> that is not to be decided tonight and so any other

discussion amongst the commissions otherwise open up for public comment commissioners. >> anyone else see any other action items other than those two? >> i have a question only the commission now is it available on the website. >> yes. >> so everything the instructions for the nominators and the process for nominees and the applications are pdf on the bottom of registry page. >> have the pdf; right? >> i have one single request and suggestion the lower divisions so those that can't - they be referenced on the site for the assistance they can receive that be available for them so that they can go to it would you tell us coming to you.

>> a suggestion. >> and just to add to that so our conversation with the mayors and the board of supervisors staff is that also again that they're having conversation with the business or in the meantime, that is something they can reach out to us ahead of time we talked with the applicant to find the best equity to refer them to. >> all right. any other discussion on this item okay opening up for public comment anyone else from the public like to comment on this particular item concerning the legacy business rules and regulations. >> but it goes to show in my opinion how bad it is necessary and i appreciate the question

from the president because that was kind of clear of what he said the thing about it is i'm going to request i think that i'm number ten is the appropriate time because you know all of that you all talking about i was almost asleep i'd like to request for . >> r all those parties the thing as a person as me i have to go home and acknowledge things and breakdown but the bottom line only two or 3 things in the community how much money is available total money available okay. and the other thing i see all the department heads involved with the welcome to the people's palace and the small business commission and all those things the breaks down i have to go home and study and come back here and come up and speak 3 minutes i'm tired of that and being ignored i'm going

to invite and some of the in program come to any community i guess so innovative any community to a savings account to have dialogue and ask questions and have the commissioners there and the oewd the thing about it, it is getting over on the city and the communities to put all the programs and bring all the new people. >> and you don't know what is happening it is put together by the mayor's office and the welcome to the people's palace and the commissioners well, we're going not going to do this with the board of supervisors they're fighting amongst themselves on different issues that student government so i'm saying to you and i'm saying it very nice that's a good idea but don't cutwater where i come from number one in order for us to

commission but i spoke on issues that needed the evidence that i haven't gotten the minutes yet and your director says well, we don't have the minutes we don't have the money and for the minutes i find that appalling if you don't have the minutes there is something wrong particularly we have a few minutes to talk about public comment and things not on see schedule that's where are the damn minutes i requested over two months ago when i spoke here and now all of a sudden you don't have them sound a watergate to me my name is ace and i'm on the case and i do not like to be disrespected by none i respect everyone particularly by you guys poignant by mayor ed lee he used to work at the hrc and ace

call silly hall i started with mayor ed lee permitted me into the pressroom as the original black african-american and i'm ready to go back in and now the question this agency this department in my opinion has at the moment violated some of having documents for the public that is your minutes now if this agency don't have the money or the staff to do that something is wrongs how in the hell will you handle small businesses you can't produce minutes and then try to play games on ace and could you be it is months that is totally unacceptable this agency that has been gotten money how much you need more

money maybe i can advocate for you to have your minutes on time i am appalled i need those minutes for what i'm doing in any community and about one of the former commissioners now you accident the right thing to do with when count commission from mission mission street recused himself and talked about the fillmore ma'am, what did they knew the information where to get the money but got a business that failed and didn't pay no rents for 5 or 6 or 8 years but business directly across the street with the fillmore center and costs hundreds of thousands of dollars where did they get that money but can't put back the money from the tax dollars that's something wrong with that and i'm going to investigate it to the end so skiing is

cooperation and every time i'm on television i mentioned the to the small business commission where do we have in the financial i'm going to keep on saying that take our tailbones to the fillmore and set up something if anything any french i know that supervisors say a f word plenty ever times i'm city politics full of tricks make you you turn both a lunatic this administration will be accountable from here on out because my name is ace and i'm on the case and have a good evening. >> mr. washington. >> yeah. >> yes. you can't say. >> okay. not - >> like in the board of supervisors yes. you have the right to say something it you.
